“Corporative Culture”


They we have a “Corporative Culture”…The big boys like the Google Incorporated, with theirs toys like me. Calmly taking away an Intellectual Property and no one and nobody nothing can do… Even the such enormous power like the nations of the …,or English speaking world, or… nothing can do. Look, I am not getting too emotional, however, my writing in the “The rich will be richer, and the poor – poorer” I see that things don’t go to my way. But like me, the G20, too, nothing can do. Well, at least I can do is “don’t buy it”. I speak now about the boo-hoo brigade which is out again. With theirs “poor me” flags and theirs “what if” banners. Though, I see too, that they are doing exactly what ‘my scenario’ tell them to do. I. e. trooping in the binaries queue (observing myself this G20’s show-off in national television) they were exactly like that Chukchi’s dog’s sledge of Grey Beaver from Jack London’s “White Fang” novel. Mean, not exactly my scenario but certainly, that – not at all bad, as they (i.e. Policy Makers and CV brokers) would like me to believe, scenario. It’s like the World and his mother (i.e. Basel II Agreement) is now trying to offer me advice. That, stolen five hours by Google Incorporated from me – have a simple explanation. The cocaine Royal Family of Lancaster’s REX – resign. And who are you, to now ask anyone with professional knowledge in the Intellectual Property Law for advice? My answer is this: In one hand, I try to listen carefully those who have previously been down the path that I know is trying to follow (I.e. The Oracle’s $7.4 billion Sun deal, which was retained by the Google Incorporated during five hours). At the other hand, I still cannot assume that the situation is entirely identical. See by yourself. The only person, entity, firm or corporation whose instincts, judgments, analyses and experiences I can fully afford to trust – is my own. It’s like that Thomas Mayne Reid’s “Headless Horseman”(please do the favor and read the article about G20’s Apprentice jockeys). To don’t argue over something inconsequential which can cause damage to the relationships I am care about.

Google’s head of China resigns. By Kathrin Francisco. Published: September 4 2009 06:02 | Last updated: September 4 2009 20:34. The head of Google’s operations in China quit on Friday, ending a controversial four-year tenure that saw the company censored version of its search engine to gain a foothold in the most populous internet market. The departure of Kai-Fu Lee comes close on the heels of a renewed debate inside the company about whether Google should pull out of China – a discussion prompted by the latest flare-up of its battle with the Chinese authorities, according to people close to the situation. That running debate has remained unresolved since the US company introduced a local, censored version of its search engine, Google.cn. Co-founder Sergey Brin in particular is still said by associates to be troubled by the company’s involvement in censorship. “There are senior people who still wonder about the wisdom and morality of being there,” said one person close to the company’s thinking. But there was no indication on Friday that Mr Lee’s departure was tied to a change of heart over Google’s presence in China. Alan Eustace, senior vice-president for engineering, credited him with “helping dramatically to im prove the quality and range of services that we offer in China”. Mr Lee, a former Microsoft executive, is one of the most prominent figures in the Chinese internet world and enjoys rock-star status in university engineering departments across the country. His departure from Microsoft became an early lightning rod in the company’s rivalry with Google, prompting lawsuits and angry accusations from each side. After launching Google.cn, he was able to gain a foothold for the US search engine inside the country, although the company has been repeatedly frustrated in its attempts to make deeper inroads into the market share of Baidu, the local market leader. Independent research firms put Google’s share of the Chinese search market at about 30 per cent, although internal measures suggest it is only a little more than 20 per cent, according to one person close to the company. Google has faced several official actions that have served to cap any gains in market share it has managed to achieve. In June, it was ordered to suspend some features on Google.cn over allegations it allowed pornographic content. Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2009.

G20 agrees regulatory framework. Economics Correspondent. September 5 2009 19:53. After two days of meetings in London, the Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers agreed the broad outlines of a tough new regulatory framework for financial institutions that stops short of setting caps on bankers’ bonuses but leaves open the possibility that regulators will have a say on pay. In broad terms, the group agreed three major points about banking regulation: banks must raise much more capital once the financial crisis has passed, complex financial institutions should develop “living wills” to plan for their unwinding should that ever become necessary and banks should be required to retain some portion of loans they repackage and sell as asset-backed securities.

Apprentice jockeys feared dead in fire. Saturday, September 5 09:47 am. Two apprentice jockeys are believed to have died and two others have been injured after a fire broke out at a block of flats. In the early hours of Saturday, emergency services were called to the flats in Buckrose Court, in Norton, near Malton, North Yorkshire, which are occupied by apprentice jockeys. A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: "At this stage it is believed two people have died although this cannot be confirmed until the fire has been fully extinguished and officers are able to enter the building and carry out a full search. "Two other casualties, two men believed to be in their early 20s, have been taken to York District Hospital where they are being treated for the effects of smoke inhalation and burn injuries. "It is too early to say what the cause of the fire was but a detailed examination of the scene will be carried out." The spokeswoman said police had been alerted by the fire service at around 2.15am.

Missing channel pirate ship carried Russian arms for Iran. September 6, 2009. A CARGO ship that vanished in the Channel was carrying arms to Iran and was being tracked by Mossad, the Israeli security service, according to sources in both Russia and Israel. The Arctic Sea, officially carrying a cargo of timber worth £1.3m, disappeared en route from Finland to Algeria on July 24. It was recovered off west Africa on August 17 when eight alleged hijackers were arrested. The Kremlin has consistently denied that the vessel was carrying a secret cargo. It claims the ship was hijacked by criminals who demanded a £1m ransom. The official version was challenged by sources in Tel Aviv and Moscow who claimed the ship had been loaded with S-300 missiles, Russia’s most advanced anti-aircraft weapon, while undergoing repairs in the Russian port of Kaliningrad. Mossad, which closely monitors arms supplies to Iran, is said to have tipped off the Russian government that the shipment had been sold by former military officers linked to the underworld. The Kremlin then ordered a naval rescue mission which involved destroyers and submarines. Any evidence that the Kremlin had let advanced weaponry fall into the hands of criminals or be sold to Iran would be highly embarrassing, so military officials believe a “cover story” was concocted. “The official version is ridiculous and was given to allow the Kremlin to save face,” said a Russian military source. “I’ve spoken to people close to the investigation and they’ve pretty much confirmed Mossad’s involvement. It’s laughable to believe all this fuss was over a load of timber. I’m not alone in believing that it was carrying weapons to Iran.” The alleged hijackers, four Estonians, two Russians and two Latvians, will go on trial in Moscow. According to the Kremlin’s account, they boarded the Arctic Sea in the Baltic by claiming their inflatable craft was in trouble and then took over the ship at gunpoint. Sources in Moscow suggested Mossad may have played a part in the alleged hijacking by setting up a criminal gang, who were unlikely to have known anything about a secret cargo. “The best way for the Israelis to block the cargo from reaching Iran would have been to create a lot of noise around the ship,” said a former army officer. “Once the news of the hijack broke, the game was up for the arms dealers. The Russians had to act. That’s why I don’t rule out Mossad being behind the hijacking. It stopped the shipment and gave the Kremlin a way out so that it can now claim it mounted a brilliant rescue mission.” According to Israeli military sources, Israel received intelligence that weapons bound for Iran were being loaded in Kaliningrad, a port notorious for gun runners. “A decision was then taken to inform the Kremlin,” said the source. Had the S-300 missiles been delivered, Iran would have significantly strengthened its air defences. An Israeli air force source said that in the event of an attack on Iranian nuclear installations, such missiles could increase Israeli casualties by 50%. Since the Arctic Sea was retaken, Russia has imposed a security blackout. The hijackers, the crew and two investigative teams were flown back to Moscow in three Il-76 air freight planes. For more than a week after being freed the crew were not allowed to talk to their families. The captain and three crew are still on board the ship, which has resumed its voyage to Algeria, but they have not been able to call home. Last week Mikhail Voitenko, an outspoken piracy expert who disputed the Kremlin’s original version of events, fled Russia, claiming he had received threats from an official angered by his statements. Admiral Tarmo Kouts, former commander of Estonia’s armed forces and the European Union’s rapporteur on piracy, has infuriated Moscow by saying the only plausible explanation of the mystery is that the ship was transporting weapons. A spokesman for the Finnish owners denied that missiles could have been secretly loaded onto the ship. Sources who suspect Mossad’s involvement point to a visit to Moscow by Shimon Peres, the Israeli president, the day after the Arctic Sea was rescued. Peres held four hours of private talks with Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president. Although the Israeli foreign ministry would not be drawn on the Arctic Sea, it confirmed that the two leaders had discussed the sale of Russian weapons to countries hostile to Israel. According to Israeli officials, Peres received verbal guarantees from the Russians that they would not sell advanced weapons systems to Iran or Syria. “Clearly the Israelis played a role in the whole Arctic Sea saga,” said a Russian military source. “Peres used the incident as a bargaining chip over the issue of arms sales to Arab states, while Israel allowed the Kremlin a way out with its claims to have successfully foiled a piracy incident.”
